COUNTED among the mysterious
crimes that, have baffled the
skill of New York jiollce was
the recent i, murder ' of Joseph
Bowno Elwell. who was found
sitting upright In a chair; In the
living-room of his home at 241
West Seventieth street with a bullet
hole through his head. The bullet had
been fired from a .45-caliber revolver,
struck the wall of the room and fell
on a table beside the chair In which
the victim sat.
The murdered man was a noted
turfman and whist expert. He was
married, but had lived apart from his
wife for several years and it is said
they had in contemplation a divorce
plan. 4 Elwell. having made no provi
sion in his will for their .16-year-old
son. it is probable that a contest will
result.
Investigation following the murder
revealed that a woman had visited
the apartment, but her Identity has
not been learned. It also .was disclosed
that Elwell had relations with a num
I ber of women. Walter Elwell. a
j brother, has taken an active part in
j the effort to ascertain who committed
the crime. William Barnes, secretary;
Edwin Rhodes, chauffeur, and Mrs.
Marie Larsen, .housekeeper in the
house, all were subjected to exami
nation. . The housekeeper . admitted
hiding a pink kimono.' cap and slip
pers found in Elwell's room, after he
had been murdered, which formed the
basis for the belief that a woman
had been with Elwell some time the
night before or at the time he was
murdered.
The question was raised as to
whether' a woman could handle the
.46-caliber army Colt automatic pis
tol, such as must have been used
to fire the fatal shot. Miss Marion
Rice, 18. member of the Brooklyn
branch of the motor corps of -America,
demonstrated that a woman could
have handled the pistol, by scoring
three bull's-eyes with as many shots.
Miss Viola Kraus. divorced wife of
Victor von Schlegell, was twice ques
tioned by the police, who believed that
she might possess information honrinir
upon the relationships of the turf-
man that might have been con-j
nected with his murder. The district!
attorney admitted after, exhaustive
investigation that no progress had
been made in ferreting out the guilty
person or persons.
WASHOUGAL HAS BIG DAY
Many Communities Unite in -Ccle-.
brating Fourth..
WASHOUGAL. Wash., July 10
(Special.) What was declared to- be
one of the best Fourth of July cele
brations ever held in this part of
Glarke county was pulled off here
Monday. July 5. It Is estimated that
about 5000 people participated- in the
celebration. Camas, the papermakers'
city on the west, was well represented,
having several decorated autos and
floats In the parade. The outlying dis
districts were also well represented.
Mount Norway made a creditable
showing in the parade with its float
representing a farm.
The Washougal Woolen mills, which
furnished the Goddess of Liberty for
the occasion, had a beautiful dec
orated .float which did honor to the
industry. H. J. Secor was the orator
of the day and delivered an interest
ing address. The entire day was full
of amusement, including the parade
with 30 decorated autos and floats, a
programme in the park, motorcycle
races, horse races, ball game and fire
works in the evening, followed by a
big dance.
Everything worked out according to
schedule, with no accidents. . and on
the whole the celebration was a grand
success. The co-operative and friendly
spirit of the surrounding communi
ties is what made a good celebration
and showed that this section is truly
American. .......
